        Hi. I use Curviloft 1.2 d. It works good, but I see the error every time, when I start work in my ScetchUp 8.

        Error Loading File bootstrap_Curviloft.rb
        uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftAlgo.rb
        uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftCurveMover.rb
        uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftPalette.rb
        uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6Error Loading File CurviloftTool.rb
        uninitialized constant Curviloft::T6

        How can I improve this?
        Thank You.

          You seem to have a wrong instalation of LibFredo6.

          Please check the posts and respect the footprint, or better, install the SCF Plugin Store and then autoinstall the scripts with it.

          Fredo

            Not sure if this is expected behavior but i fired up Sketchup earlier, it told me there were updates for a couple plugins (libfredo, curviloft, round corners, ...) , i used Sketchucation Plugin Store inside Sketchup to update the plugins and now Curviloft shows a progress bar in the middle of my screen whenever i use it, and it stays there until i submit, which is very annoying. Is it supposed to be like that now ?

              There may be a bug.
              Could you open the Ruby Console before launching and check if there are messages.

              Thanks

                Very strange, works like a charm now πŸ˜• Maybe that's what i get for not giving Sketchup some love for 2 weeks πŸ˜† Thank you anyway and i'll check the ruby console if it ever does it again πŸ˜„

                    Awesome plugin! You know what I am thinking. I'll draw lines on my friends face, take a snapshot, using the snapshot as reference draw the lines in sketchup, then curviloft it πŸ˜„

                      Be sure to extract the folder CURVILOFT_Dir_12 into the plugins folder. I extracted the *.rb files straight into plugins at first and got the same errors.

                          I am testing a lofting workflow on simple geometry and Sketchup keeps crashing when trying to loft simple lines.

                          The process is this:
                          Draw a line
                          copy 4 times some distance
                          move 3 lines vertically up some to distance
                          select each line in sequence left to right
                          run curviloft

                          The tool activates then hangs sketchup. If I loft arcs or other shapes it seems to work fine.

                          I am using Sketchup 8 and Sketchup2013 on OSX 10.8.5. Both seem to be affected.

                          Thanks,

                          Mike

                            Try it the other way round: run curviloft and afterwards, select the lines in the right order.

                              As cotty says, more information would be useful. I expect you've not installed it correctly and/or you didn't bother to install the required LibFredo6 files.

                                  The file is not complicated is it only 5 lines and nothing more and it is a fresh file just after Sketchup starts. This is created in Sketchup 8.

                                  I did try as Cotty suggested above to run Curviloft then select the lines. It worked and didn't crash Sketchup, but other geometry seems to work without running Curviloft first.

                                    It may not be complicated but you don't describe which direction you copied the lines or how far. why would you even want to use Curviloft of those lines? What sort of result are you expecting?

                                      I am using a workflow process that is not uncommonly used in Rhino to connect two planes or surfaces without using arcs. I am trying to use simple geometry as a test first before it would be used later on a more complex model. I like to test things like this out on simple models before I try incorporate it into my modeling process, and I noticed this was causing sketchup to freeze on OSX. I am not sure if the same behavior happens in Windows as I am not at work to try it in that environment.

                                      Mike.

                                        I do not understand what you think CL will do with a set of unconnected lines. CL needs a closed perimeter of some sort to create the intervening mesh. With 5 parallel unconnected lines, CL can do nothing. I tried it and got the usual CL "I'm stumped" color codes. It did NOT hang my system.

                                          Selected the correct way it creates this, but the wrong way freezes SU.
